The mapping conventions for Lutang.

Transport

Roads

Lutang's expressways (motorways) are numbered EN. These numbers are incremented and are thus in order of expressway construction.

National roads that are not expressways begin with NN. The most important roads (trunks) are N1 to 30. Anything past 30 is a primary road. For N numbers, north-south roads use even numbers while west-east ones use odd numbers. Diagonal roads can use either an odd or even number.

Roads may have additional province-specific designations (AA-N) in addition to their National N number. Secondaries link smaller towns and villages and are used as main streets in large cities, while tertiaries are used for the main roads of gated communities. Finally, there is residential; which is for access to residential buildings. Unclassified roads render the same as residentials, but are used when there is no residence along a street.

Trains

Lutang's railway network uses 1435mm standard gauge. The distance between the platform edge and track centerline should be at least 1.8m, for loading gauge.

Public transport schema

Bus stations should be named after the place they primarily serve. Prefixes are also added. Write them out in full, no abbreviations.

• Opposite, or Opp. for the other side of the road. The Lutang Mapping Authority has a bus station outside it; and across the road is a station named "Opposite Lutang Mapping Authority".

Transport route relations should be formatted as: "LINE_NAME - START --> END".
